Library Services & Learning Resources

The Library serves the teaching and research needs of the University. The Library offers high-quality digital and print resources to its users and promotes collaborative learning by providing the latest touchscreen panels and computer workstations. It provides access to several electronic databases which can be searched simultaneously through a federated search tool. The Library’s website is the one-stop source for a wide range of digital resources and services to meet the growing academic and research needs at BUiD. Users can access the Library on and off-campus. The OCLC WorldCat platform is integrated with Google Scholar, providing the convenience of finding resources along with thousands of other libraries. The website has been redesigned to provide the required information conveniently and seamlessly. In addition, several instructional videos are available to guide users wherever needed. Our social media outreach is expanding, and we can be reached through several platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The Library is posting updates and creating awareness about its resources, services, and events regularly. The Library staff is eager to support students and faculty in-person or by email, chatbot, telephone, or using any popular video conferencing tools such as MS Teams and Zoom.
